Department of Music
Division of Humanities and Fine Arts

The music department at Washington College is committed to assisting both students who expect to study music in preparation for a professional career, as well as those who wish to pursue music as an interest or avocation. Our Music Minor program is flexible and encourages to select a range of courses including performance (vocal and instrumental), music history and criticism, world music and ethnomusicology, theory and composition, and music production. The course offerings provide solid preparation for a lifelong engagement with music.
